Zero Inc, is a cryptography company commercializing ZerøFHE, a patented private-key fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) algorithm that enables enterprises to run search, analytics, and AI directly on encrypted data without decryption.
ZerøFHE addresses the primary unresolved gap in enterprise data security: data in use. Unlike conventional
encryption, which requires data to be decrypted before processing, ZerøFHE performs computation directly on cipher text, ensuring sensitive data is never exposed during analysis, training, or search operations.
The scheme is built on a non-lattice algebraic construction, making it independent of the hardness assumptions underlying CKKS, BFV, and TFHE, and structurally resistant to the attack classes that have been shown to break leading FHE alternatives. It requires no bootstrapping, supports unlimited computational depth, and runs on commodity hardware without specialized acceleration.
Zero Inc. holds three granted US patents exclusively licensed from the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY). Target markets include cybersecurity cloud, managed services, and AI infrastructure.
